I did long ago a body lift but the gas tank needs lifting.
Any ideas as its held on at the front by 2 bolts and the brackets (welded to the tank) go flat towards the front for about 4 inches then they go down and backwards (at about a 30 degree angle basically till they rejoin the tank.
At the back they are basically flat.
I thought that if i droped the tank (using a jack),then put the back of the tank up first to bolt it in above the chassis,then put the front bolts back in.This would mean that the tank was on a angle and the gauge would read incorrect.
REAR OF TANK
FRONT OF TANK
IS THIS THE WAY TO DO IT OR ARE THERE ANY BETTER IDEAS?
I have the same problem and was thinking of doing the same thing. not sure if its possible to rotate the tank to slide the rear mounting tabs over the x-member. If you do it let me know how much you gain. I think you need to lift the front ones as well but this would require a change to the bracket
I think the guage is a pressure guage and if so it wouldn't matter if its on an angle.
you need to modify the brackets a bit, but apparently its not that hard to do and you are on the right track with it. Also the gauge is via a float because LPG is a liquid, hence the L in LPG. Have a good look all over your tank, there will be instructions on how it has to be mounted i think.
